This edition spotlights the latest evidence on gender equality. In just over a decade, the Sustainable Development Goals have generated significant changes for women and girls. They have spurred new laws upholding women’s rights and led to measurable increases in women’s education and well-being. Yet progress remains far short of ambition. With five years left to reach the Goals, this report outlines bold investments and actions to accelerate progress.

This report finds that Black women in England face disproportionately poor outcomes in maternity care, shaped by systemic failings in leadership, training, data collection and accountability. The report acknowledges that failings in care for Black women are taking place in the context of a maternity system that is failing women more broadly, with the NHS in England having paid £27.4 billion in maternity negligence since 2019, estimated at a figure greater than the total maternity budget for the same period.

This new tool, launched by UNECE in September 2025, is designed to catalyze transformative actions by offering clear, hands-on guidance for operationalizing gender equality in public service delivery. The Blueprint provides a structured and pragmatic framework to help quality infrastructure institutions – such as standards bodies, accreditation and regulatory agencies – embed gender equality into their internal processes and external outputs. Its modular design enables organizations to adapt the guidance to their own priorities, strengthening inclusivity while enhancing institutional performance. Though tailored to the needs of quality infrastructure bodies, the Blueprint is also adaptable to a wide range of regulatory and public sector institutions.

Despite growing investment in gender equality, private sector efforts remain fragmented and under-measured due to weak accountability, limited data, and few incentives. This leads to persistent gaps in women’s leadership and economic empowerment. This report urges governments, companies, and UN agencies to take coordinated action—closing data gaps, aligning incentives, and centring women’s rights in business—to accelerate progress on Sustainable Development Goal 5 and the Beijing+30 Action Agenda.

This contradiction was the focus of APC’s Safety for Voices webinar, which brought together WHRDs, feminist organisers, researchers and digital rights advocates from Asia, Latin America, Southwest Asia and North Africa.
